I have a collection of original Moorcroft vases & lamps that I wish to
sell.  Apart from ebay, what is the market for Moorcroft, all in mint
condition, from the 1960's, and where should one go to get the best
value from the sale of these items.

jc-ga,

Early Moorcroft from the 1930's and so can fetch a pretty penny.  The
1960's were the beginning of some tough times for the company, and
these pieces are generally not quite as valuable as either the earlier
or some of the more recent limited-editions.

Still, they ain't cheap, either.  

A typical price range for a smallish 1960's vase can be seen here:

I can steer you towards some good printed reference sources that
discuss Moorcroft, and give more examples similar to the above.

As to where to go to sell your pieces, that's a tough call to make. 
While I can perhaps offer some suggestions, I wouldn't feel
comfortable saying so-and-so is clearly the best place to go.

Let me know your thoughts on what makes the most sense on how to proceed.

Thanks,

I can provide a list & photographs of the pieces to be sold - is there
an email address to which they should be directed?

Type in Moorcroft into google, yahoo, msn, and ask.com search engines.
Sponsored links will pop up as the first results and will give you a
good idea of the top dollar selling price in moorcroft. You can sell
in such pay per click methods as well.

Check the top sites listed. Also review yahoo and dmoz directory.

You can get a general picture of a sites popularity by their google
ranking in the google toolbar. To see where the popular moorcraft
sites get their traffic type link:exaple.com to see sites linking to
them. Where ever they advertise is probably a good bet to check into.
